Obama was always good at keeping his criticisms targeted towards officials and not their followers. It's one of the sad things about today's GOP. They don't even pretend that they represent people who didn't vote for them.
Former President Obama has tweeted the following statement on violence at the Capitol on Wednesday:
“History will rightly remember today’s violence at the Capitol, incited by a sitting president who has continued to baselessly lie about the outcome of a lawful election, as a moment of great dishonor and shame for our nation.
“But we’d be kidding ourselves if we treated it as a total surprise. For two months now, a political party and its accompanying media ecosystem has too often been unwilling to tell their followers the truth — that this was not a particularly close election and that President-Elect Biden will be inaugurated on January 20.
“Their fantasy narrative has spiraled further and further from reality, and it builds upon years of sown resentments. Now we’re seeing the consequences, whipped up into a violent crescendo.
“Right now, Republican leaders have a choice made clear in the desecrated chambers of democracy. They can continue down this road and keep stoking the raging fires. Or they can choose reality and take the first steps toward extinguishing the flames. They can choose America.
“I’ve been heartened to see many members of the President’s party speak up forcefully today. Their voices add to the examples of Republican state and local election officials in states like Georgia who’ve refused to be intimidated and have discharged their duties honorably. We need more leaders like these — right now and in the days, weeks, and months ahead as President-Elect Biden works to restore a common purpose to our politics. It’s up to all of us as Americans, regardless of party, to support him in that goal.”

Almost forgot what a serious President sounds like, tbh

Comfort thread.
You sound upset. You should be, tbh
I'll take that over sounding murderous. This violence you're purporting to condemn was being giddily cheered on by your fellow Chumpettes but hours ago. Sorry you missed it.
Don't hold back... let it all out...
You having murderous friends. It is....Don't hold back... let it all out...

We need a major overhaul of welfare.

Biden promised time for healingCome on guys... those tears... let them all out
This is certainly your time to air all your grievances on the departing loser.
During the summer Trump was actually evacuated. They had to build fences in response.Why do all repugs do false equivalences like they fool anyone? Looting a target is not the same as breaching the capital armed with assault rifles.
you mean when he went to hide in the bunker? rofl
Why did he not say anything in Portland all summer
And all the killing in Chicago
Because those actions weren't being egged on by a United States president.
Gosh, that was easy. I bet someone even with the intellect of a fourth grader could make that distinction.
Trumps America
Oh was that when he bullied his way to the church for det photo op holding the bible?
upside down
They attempted to but failed. This still our country and today proved it. Keep enjoying life in the background of your own political party. Now kneel.They didnt go inside the white house ing re . They got past the first set of barriers which they had 2. Then Trump became a pussy and built a wall.
And those people weren't armed with ing assault rifles.
